7 Using a PMR device
To communicate between PMR devices they need to be set all on the same channel and
within receiving range (up to max. 5 km in open field). Since these devices use free frequency
bands (channels), all devices in operation share these channels(total 8 channels). Therefore,
privacy is not guaranteed. Anybody with a PMR set to your channel can overhear the
conversation. If you want to communicate (transmitting a voice signal) you need to press the
-button.
Once this button pressed, the device will go into transmit mode and you can speak into the
microphone. All other PMR devices in range , on the same channel and in standby mode (not
transmitting) will hear your message. You need to wait until the other party stops transmitting
